Woman quits job to look after husband because 'men should be spoilt by wives'

Katrina Holte gets up every morning at 6.30am to lay out her husbands clothes before heading downstairs to make him breakfast and prepare a packed lunch for him to take into the office.

"If I did, heaven forbid, have dinner late, he would not make a fuss, but I can tell it means a lot to him that it's normally on time. "I agree with old-fashioned values, like being a housewife, taking care of your family, nurturing the people in it and keeping your house in excellent condition, so everyone feels relaxed."

Her day starts at 6.30am when she wakes and sets out her husband’s clothes, ready for the day ahead, before preparing his breakfast and making him a packed lunch."Exercise in the 1930s to 1950s was a lot gentler. There was a lot of stretching, warming up or ‘limbering up,’ as they would say back then,” Katrina explained.

"My entire wardrobe is 1950s, made up of dresses I have made myself from original patterns. I always try and look my best. Katrina starts cooking the dinner at around 4pm to 5pm to make sure everything is ready when Lars returns from work. "After dinner we play board games like Scrabble, or watch our vintage shows like I Love Lucy or The Donna Reed Show. Sometimes we read. I like reading 1950s cookbooks and vintage beauty and sewing magazines."

"He works very long hours and makes my dreams come true, so I try to make his come true, too. It’s an equal partnership.Far from feeling that women in the 1950s were under the thumb, Katrina insists they were independent thinkers. At their wedding at The Academy Chapel and Ballroom, Vancouver, Washington, in July 17, 2015, the couple's first dance was to Laendler, as performed by Julie Andrews and Christopher Plumber in The Sound of Music.
